IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've delivered strategic sourcing outcomes across IBM India, Continental Automotive Components, and Inteva Products Automotive, managing direct and indirect procurement activities from RFx through contract execution.
At IBM, I led end-to-end RFI, RFP, and RFQ events across IT, Network, and Professional Services. Through spend analysis, supplier consolidation, competitive bidding, and commercial negotiations, I delivered AUD 1.5M in cost savings.
